The Scout Troop Holds it's Annual Burns Night Celebration

The Scout Troop doesn't need any excuse to hold a cook night, and the annual Burns Night celebration is no exception! So on 25 January, the Scouts arrived at the Troop meeting armed with their supplies of haggis, turnips, potatoes and oat cakes.

The 6 Patrols each cooked enough food for the number of Scouts in their Patrol plus one leader. Once all the food was cooked, All 32 Scouts sat down together at one long table in the hall, and then the fun really began!

The haggis was piped into the hall by the Troop's two pipers. The famous 'Address to the Haggis' poem was read by a PL, then the haggis was cut open in traditional style! The 'Selkirk Grace' was read by another PL, then the food was served. Further poems were read during the meal.
